CarComplaints.com Notes: The 2012 Honda Accord has a solid reputation (so far), with one very significant flaw: uncomfortable seats.

Owners have consistently reported uncomfortable seats with the entire 8th generation (2008-2012) of Honda Accords. Complaints range from back pain to leg circulation problems due to bad lumbar support, cushioning, & seat angle. Complaints aren't limited to only a certain body type -- the seat comfort problems are from a wide spectrum of owner height & weight.

The common theme we hear is "we never noticed this during the test drive." Unfortunately for unwary buyers, the seat pain is noticeable after 15-20 minutes.

Accord EX-L V6

I've taken my car to a local Honda Dealership, they ran one oil consumption test. Oil was topped off and mileage was 90,388. I checked it at 90,624, dipstick showed oil level halfway between two marks on dipstick. I seem to be using more than 1 quart of oil in 1,000 miles. Dealership keeps telling me they need to run more tests. I'm no rocket scientist, but I do have sense enough to know there's a problem!

Accord EXL 2.4L

  • Automatic transmission
  • 90,000 miles

Oil was over 2 quarts low, dash was at 50% (5000 miles since last oil change). I bought Honda because I had a Toyota with oil consumption problems, another mistake I guess. I have a Dodge with over 170k on it does not burn a drop between changes.

Its quite clear the VCM issue persists with the 2012 v6 as well.
